Reborn Soul Master: The Rogue's Counterattack

Cardin made the right choice.

"Professor Mathias, how are your preparations for the midterm exam going?"

"Don't worry. No, you should be worried. Dean."

"Then why do you look like that?"

"What's wrong with my expression?" Jack Carter sat on the throne and gave all rights to the Hero Academy to Cardin.

It took a year to rebuild the building of the Hero Academy that collapsed because of the demons.

It took another year to select professors, lecturers, various administrators, and new students.

Two years passed like this before the Hero Academy reopened its front gates, and Cardin enjoyed the rights granted to him.

"This is indeed the most suitable reward." Cardin looked at the dissatisfied Mathias and smiled with satisfaction.

Of course, he didn't really mean to torture Matthias.

"Professor Matthias, I'm counting on you to take care of the freshman exams next year as well."

"No, I did it the first time too. Do you want me to do it again? Where are the other guardians?"

"Mr. Philip cannot be asked to do this, and it is embarrassing to say that he is already retired."

"Of course! What about the others?"

"Lecturer Verid, no, Mr. Verid is very busy with the expansion of the Magic Tower, and Professor Klose is also busy educating the Royal Knights."

Cardin said this in a pretentious manner, and Mathias frowned and asked again.

"What about the rest?"

"Everyone is busy at their own position. I heard that Professor Matthias has the most free time..."

"I'm busy too!" Matthias gulped down the water in the teacup and glared at Cardin, who looked at him and smiled with satisfaction.

"Thanks to you, my shoulders are much lighter. Without Professor Mathias, I don't know how I would have handled so many things."

“Don’t cause trouble to others.”

"I really appreciate you. To be honest, I regretted it many times at first. It would have been nice to just accept the land and live a peaceful life."

As a reward accept fertile land and manage it, life will be a hundred times more comfortable.

Even as a guardian, managing the kingdom's highest educational institution is not an easy task. There are all kinds of heavy responsibilities.

Without the support of the Guardians, including Mathias, and the Kingdom, as well as the help of the War Heroes, rebuilding the Hero Academy might be difficult.

"Then why did you choose to do something so hard?"

"There must be someone among the Guardians who should be in charge of this academy. Wouldn't Senior give me orders every day?"

"Because you don't want to accept my orders, you choose to be tortured?" Cardin didn't answer, but just smiled brightly. Matthias shook his head helplessly and lay on the sofa.

"Senior, by the way, how are you doing recently? Are there any sequelae after using life magic?" Cardin raised the glass of orange juice and asked seriously.

"I just applied what I learned from you to ordinary people. It's a bit hard, but it's no big deal." Mathias, who was lying on the sofa, raised his right hand and answered.

He just raised his hand quietly, but his hand was shaking slightly.

“I’m working on getting treatment and management because of you, so don’t worry.”

"Because of me? I'm not the dean?"

"Didn't you call me senior first?" Matthias stood up and shouted helplessly. Cardin chuckled and spoke again.

"How is Mr. Dimitar doing lately? Although Mr. Gilbert is always in the Magic Tower."

"Traveling with Mr. Jade. He said his childhood dream was to become a mercenary."

"With Mr. Jade?" Dimitar, who had lost all his powers, traveled around the kingdom with the mercenary king Jade.

"It's called traveling, but it's actually about maintaining public order. If you go out with a teacher, it's safe and reliable."

"What an admirable patriotism. Even after retirement, he still cares so much about the kingdom."

"He may seem a little stubborn, but he has a lot of heart. He even gave up his Mana Heart for the kingdom. That's amazing."

Without Dimitar, Matthias and Gilbert would have died.

If it weren't for Dimitar and Gilbert, as well as the damage accumulated by Mathias, Cardin might have had a hard time defeating Bell so easily.

"By the way, why haven't I seen that vampire recently? Is it because there is no summoning?" Matthias looked around curiously.

He had seen Luna commanding the Undead at the construction site of the Hero Academy, but after the Hero Academy was built, he never saw Luna again.

"Luna? Luna is traveling too."

"travel?"

"Yes, because I have something to ask of her." After the war with the demons ended, the ancient necromancer and the residents of Neropolis asked Luna for help.

They wished to see the changing world before freeing themselves from the shackles of Neropolis.

This is not a difficult task. As long as the undead possess you, they can wander around the human world as souls at any time.

"Of course, it's more of a tour guide than a journey." Of course, they cannot be easily released into the human world with their enormous power.

Cardin had a lot of things to do, so he carefully asked Luna to do it.

Fortunately, Luna also wanted to see the world and gladly accepted Cardin's request.

"As for that vampire, don't worry."

"Yes. Although she looks young, she is much older than us. She is considerate and responsible, and nothing will go wrong."

Cardin said this while looking out the open window. Although he couldn't see Luna, he could clearly feel her presence.

With Cardan becoming a Nine Star, all the Necromancer's restraints were released and Luna's existence became clearer.

Therefore, even if they are far apart, they can clearly feel each other's presence.

"Luna, are you okay?"

On a whim, Cardin called out to Luna telepathically.

-Busy! I'll talk to you later! Hey! You guys, don't go over there, come here!

It seems that Luna is very busy, so contacting her will have to be postponed until later.

"How's everyone else doing?"

"Well, it seems like everyone is living busy lives like us. It's hard to get together like we used to."

Cardan's first friend "Alvis" was given his hometown city "Repera" as a reward for being a war hero.

He has been living as a commoner but has become a noble. With the ambition to turn his once lawless hometown into the most livable city, he is working hard to live the life of a lord.

"How's Kalia doing lately? I haven't heard what she's been doing since the Revolutionary Group disbanded."

"Kalia has gone abroad temporarily. She said she wanted to improve her strength and that there are limitations here."

"She's strong enough."

"So I wanted to ask her to be a lecturer." As a reward for being a war hero, Kalia was given an island city, but she entrusted the management rights to others and went abroad temporarily.

Perhaps because she was greatly stimulated by the war, she decided to practice overseas.

"How is Senior Klose? He must be very busy as the guardian and leader of the Royal Knights."

"Yes. But with Senior Lucas and Senior Arad together, he should be able to do well. After all, becoming the leader of the Knights is his goal."

Klose Douglas left home and became the master of the Royal Knights.

His friends, the magician Lucas and the archer Arad, also became members of the Royal Knights to help Klose.

"Where are those three chatterboxes?"

"Human, Brent, David? I heard they live in the walls of Eloksam."

"It seems like they like it there. After all, there are always celebrations there."

"And they've recently become friends with the barbarians, and now they seem to be farming together." Heuman, Brent, and David settled in the walls of Eloksam.

It seemed like they enjoyed spending time with their new barbarian friends.

"Is Senior Esther still in Trafalgar?"

"Yes. With the development of the Plains of Despair, it seems that a lot of manpower is needed. Because they need the labor of the undead, they settled there."

After dealing with the dragon corpses in Dragon Valley, Trafalgar returned to stability.

Afterwards, the kingdom began to open up the Plains of Despair in order to expand its territory, and it is said that Esther's undead played a huge role there.

"Where's Blanche? According to Owen Douglas, she's getting married."

"Marriage? This is the first time I've heard of it."

"Why is this the first time I've heard of this? The target is you."

"Huh?" Cardin looked at Mathias in surprise. Blanche was preparing to inherit her father's business and become the head of the Douglas family.

I only knew that she was very busy with the homeroom course, but I didn't expect that she would suddenly get married. And the one she married was me?

"From your reaction, it seems like Mr. Owen made the decision himself."

"It seems so."

"Are you not interested? It seems that Blanche is very interested in you." Cardin thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

After the war, Blanche took extraordinary care of Cardin, either accidentally handing him a lunch box or asking for help to spy on the enemy together.

She always found ways to spend time with Cardin.

"You look prettier lately." Cardin sheepishly changed the subject and Mathias stood up with a satisfied smile.

“Everyone is busy and having a good time.”

"But what on earth are you doing, Senpai? You look so leisurely no matter how you look at it."

"I am working hard to manage the Hero Academy as the great guardian and dean's order." Mathias is also leading a very busy life.

As the guardian and commander-in-chief of the kingdom, he was often summoned to the palace, and in order to prepare for war with the enemy, he also visited cities near the border.

Every time he returned to the capital, he would be called by Cardin and live a life of exploited labor.

"I am always grateful to you, Senior."

"Okay. Anyway, I have to go to class, so I'm leaving now." Mathias immediately turned and left, and Cardin smiled brightly and waved goodbye.

Ingmar House.

After returning to the mansion, Cardin leaned back tiredly on the luxurious and comfortable chair. In the past, the guardians led the kingdoms to the mansion and destroyed it everywhere, so it took a lot of time to repair it.

"I'm finally back." Because of the management academy, I have to live in the capital every time, and I didn't return to the mansion until today.

Cardin stood up and looked around the mansion with eyes full of longing.

The inside of the mansion was very tidy, thanks to the cleanup done by his undead.

Click. Soon, he stopped in front of Charlotte's portrait, and Cardin chuckled and spoke.

"I'm back, father." Many thoughts flashed through my mind.

"The powerful purpose changed from survival to revenge, and the ambition of revenge turned into the mission of protecting the kingdom."

As a child, Charlotte urged him most strongly to have ambition.

- Became strong enough that he no longer had to urgently survive. As Charlotte said, Cardin became a strong man that no one in the Kingdom of Libera could ignore.

Charlotte has surpassed it, and now Cardin is writing a new legend.

"I haven't said it until now, I'm really grateful to you. Although I'm not your biological son, you still raised me so carefully, I'm really grateful to you."

After a brief moment of silence, Cardin walked over to the sofa and sat down. Now he remembered what his boss had said in his previous life, when he was living as Huang Peng.

-If you want to have peace, become the top predator.

“As the boss said, I became the top predator here.” Is peace all he has left now?

The "peace" that I have never enjoyed in my life as a gangster. Can I now enjoy that peace as a hero who has saved the kingdom by becoming a necromancer?

"Yes. Enjoy life this time. Enjoy the leisurely peace." Cardin smiled happily and slowly closed his eyes.

Knock, knock, knock. At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

"Who is it? No one should come to see me." Cardin stood up curiously and slowly walked towards the entrance.

"who is it?"

"It's me." The voice coming from the other side of the door was Matthias'.

"Why did Matthias come at this hour?" Cardin tilted his head curiously, then opened the door.

Then he froze in an instant. It wasn't just Matthias who was outside the door.

Blanche, Alves, Kalia, Heumann, Brent, David. The classmates from Hero Academy appeared, and seniors Klose, Lucas, Arad, and Esther also waved.

"Why is everyone here..." Cardin asked in surprise, and Mathias raised the bottle in his hand and said.

"I heard that you're going to live in this mansion starting today? Then we have to have a party." Cardin smiled helplessly and thought to himself.

"It looks like the calm will have to be postponed until next time."
